See, I didn't know that you turned their lights off during brumation either! That's also good information. I'm sure I'd check on my little guy every day just because I'm a worry-wart, but I am beginning to understand things more now! I also was not too happy to read about the poor old dragon in...

I am hearing over at Facebook that hydration via the vent has been proven a myth and that bathing your dragon during brumation doesn't actually do anything unless they drink the bath water. If that is true then how do you hydrate your dragon if they don't wake up during their weekly bath time...

Luckiest little dragon in the world! So beautiful!

We're looking at building a custom wooden enclosure for my beardie when it gets bigger, but I wanted to make sure that we don't use a wood that he could get sick from or anything. My boyfriend wants to use a wood he knows will be good quality (marine-grade), so it would be Douglas-Fir or Western...

My baby beardie will only eat greens from my hand and not from a dish, so I am usually offering him greens as I feed him his worms. Should I offer those after I offer his worms? It seems like he may be filling up on greens and then not eating as many worms as he usually does and I know he needs...

Y'all.... just ignore me, I'm apparently an *****. I swear it did not have a reflector but apparently it does and I'm just..... :shock:

I didn't think that it did but now I will have to double check when I get home because I may have made myself a liar. I'll let you know! Is there a facepalm emoji? Lol

My UVB Tube (Reptisun 10.0) is on top of my beardie's wire mesh and I know that can filter out some rays but adding a reflector supposedly can help with that. I have no way to mount it inside his viv right now since it's too short and he'd be able to crawl into it, so until he gets bigger this...

I never cared that much about gender tbh. I pick a name that fits and it's "his" name and he seemed like a he so that's what he is. It doesn't really matter all that much. Pretty sure he doesn't give two shakes of his tail as long as I feed him and love him. :)

I'm feeling like a proud mom today! Hermes had two great poops that haven't been dry and he even ate some mustard greens (albeit from my hand because I should've known he would need to have his veggies hand delivered). And we had snuggles last night and this morning. It's like we're finally to...

I want to make sure I am doing all I can so my little buddy will be my cuddle friend when he's older. Right now he's only been with me 3 weeks and he's just nearing 3 months but he can still be a bit skiddish at times. Sometimes I can put a worm in my palm and he'll run up on my hand and eat it...

Is there a season for them? And do they sell them at generic grocery stores like Walmart or Target - we don't have Whole Foods or Krogers in this area which were the first results that came up when I googled them. I know many people say that dandelion greens are their dragons favorite so I...

His increased appetite might really just be his normal appetite now that he's been here a couple of weeks and has settled in a bit. Maybe he was eating less before because he was a bit stressed out still, who knows. He's a growing boy, I best let him get his chow on. I just don't want him to...

Also in terms of poop, because a lot of people mention it, my dragon's poop never has the watery casing around it. It's always well formed, but generally dry. Should I bathe him, drip water on his nose more to make sure he's not getting dehydrated? I don't think he is, but I've yet to see him...

He just started eating 50+ feeders a day when we started Phoenix worms and now he looks pretty pudgy. Is this normal? I know he's a baby, I just worry. He's still pooping regularly (usually once a day, though he didn't poop yesterday and I got worried, but mom said he did today) and never seems...
